As we well know, collagen fibres cannot be inserted due to the lack of root structure on the implant surface, so the structural integration of peri-implant tissues that provide a firm seal around implants seems to be of interest when it comes to ensuring the survival of dental implants. To achieve a good epithelial barrier, the physicochemical characteristics of the surfaces of the restorative materials are of vital importance; therefore, the objective of this study is to analyse the histological behaviour of the peri-implant soft tissues in three different restorative materials. (2) Methods: Histological analysis of biopsied peri-implant keratinised mucosa, inflammatory epithelium and connective tissue in contact with a reinforced composite (BRILLIANT Crios), a cross-linked polymethylmethacrylate (TELIO CAD), and a hybrid ceramic (Vita Enamic), restored on a customised Atlantis-type abutment (Dentsply Sirona) between 60 and 180 days after restoration. (3) Results: A greater number of cells per mm2 of keratinised epithelium is observed in the reinforced composite, which could indicate greater surface roughness with greater inflammatory response. In this way, the greater number of lymphocytes and the lateral cellular composition of the inflammatory cells confirm the greater inflammatory activity towards that material. The best material to rehabilitate was hybrid ceramic, as it shows a better cellular response. (4) Conclusions: Knowing the limitations of the proposed study, despite the fact that greater inflammation is observed in the reinforced composite relative to the other materials studied, no statistically significant differences were found.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym15153321","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,7]],"date-time":"2023-08-07T06:38:48Z","timestamp":1691390328000},"page":"3321","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Behaviour of the Peri-Implant Soft Tissue with Different Rehabilitation Materials on Implants"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Mar\u00eda","family":"Baus-Dom\u00ednguez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Biomedicina de Sevilla, IBiS\/Departamento de Estomatolog\u00eda, Facultad de Odontolog\u00eda, Universidad de Sevilla, C\/Avicena S\/N, 41009 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seraf\u00edn","family":"Maza-Solano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Biomedicina de Sevilla, IBiS\/Departamento de Estomatolog\u00eda, Facultad de Odontolog\u00eda, Universidad de Sevilla, C\/Avicena S\/N, 41009 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Celia","family":"V\u00e1zquez-Pach\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Biomedicina de Sevilla, IBiS\/Departamento de Estomatolog\u00eda, Facultad de Odontolog\u00eda, Universidad de Sevilla, C\/Avicena S\/N, 41009 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"Flores-Cerero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Biomedicina de Sevilla, IBiS\/Departamento de Estomatolog\u00eda, Facultad de Odontolog\u00eda, Universidad de Sevilla, C\/Avicena S\/N, 41009 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9302-7138","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Torres-Lagares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Biomedicina de Sevilla, IBiS\/Departamento de Estomatolog\u00eda, Facultad de Odontolog\u00eda, Universidad de Sevilla, C\/Avicena S\/N, 41009 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda-\u00c1ngeles","family":"Serrera-Figallo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Biomedicina de Sevilla, IBiS\/Departamento de Estomatolog\u00eda, Facultad de Odontolog\u00eda, Universidad de Sevilla, C\/Avicena S\/N, 41009 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Mac\u00edas-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Citolog\u00eda e Histolog\u00eda Normal y Patol\u00f3gica, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de Sevilla, Avda.
